The moment Jiang Yingqiu heard that, she also grew serious. “What do you mean?”
Mo Beihan said earnestly, “The Qiao family is very famous. In the past, their status in the capital was very high. Even the rich families that somehow managed to survive in China suffered heavy losses. But the Qiao family is different. They left, and they’ve made good progress while they were overseas. They have always moved in the best social circles.
“Now that the restrictions in China have been lifted, the status of rich families like the Qiaos will only grow. After Uncle Gu and Aunt Qiao formally marry, Yao Yao will be the legitimate granddaughter of the Qiao family. Then not only will she be the Gu family’s granddaughter, but she will also have the support of the Qiao family. That way, she won’t suffer in the Mo family after she marries me.
“When our children are born, they won’t be bullied because Yao Yao’s status will protect them. Be it Mu Mu or my future children, when I’m working away from home, Yao Yao and the children definitely won’t be bullied.”
Gu Qingyao’s status was just too high. Even after she joined the Mo family, Jiang Hongying would not be able to do anything to her.
Jiang Yingqiu completely agreed with this explanation.
She immediately said, “You’re right. You’re a man, and when you’re working away from home, an unprotected woman and her children will certainly suffer. Old Madam Mo is growing older, and she cannot do all that she would like. With Yao Yao around, the children won’t be bullied in the future.
“You’ve waited for so many years, another year or two doesn’t matter. You can wait until Yao Yao’s parents are married before you get married.”
Jiang Yingqiu’s greatest hope was that her children would have a good life. The Mo family’s circumstances were rather complicated. After Gu Qingyao got married, besides Mo Beihan, she would have to deal with the entire large family.
She knew very well that Mo Chengrui and the other grandchildren’s fate were tied to that of Mo Beihan. Gu Qingyao’s marriage to Mo Beihan was the best way of supporting him. If his wife and children were doing well, as a man, Mo Beihan would not have to worry about them.
Mo Beihan immediately sighed with relief when he saw that his mother sincerely agreed to delay their wedding. His mouth twitched a little, but Jiang Yingqiu did not see it.
He must admit that Yao Yao was the apple of his eye. She wanted her parents to be there at her wedding, so he had agreed. But his mother yearned for them to get married sooner, so after some thought, he felt that this was the only argument that would win his mother over.
When he saw that his mother was satisfied, Mo Beihan leaned closer and said, “Mother, Yao Yao and I will probably get married in the second half of the year. You can have a grandson by next year!”
Jiang Yingqiu was delighted. She slapped Mo Beihan’s shoulder. “Oh well, I have so many grandsons, I am not short of grandsons at all. I would rather you give me a granddaughter.”
By the time they finished their conversation, Jiang Yingqiu had completely calmed down, and she bade Mo Beihan goodbye with a smile.
“All right, goodbye! Don’t keep Yao Yao waiting. We’re all in the capital, just come and visit me when you have time. Remember to prepare the wedding presents. The Mo family probably won’t neglect this matter, and I’ll also prepare some things for you. I’ll give it to you when the time comes.”
“All right!”
Jiang Yingqiu was delighted. She pushed Mo Beihan towards Gu Qingyao and said, “Hurry up and go home! Remember to take good care of Yao Yao!”
When she finished speaking, she walked over to Gu Qingyao and took her hand. She said smilingly, “Yao Yao! Our Beihan is a good man. You grew up together. When you marry him in the future, he will take good care of you. If he dares to bully you, I won’t let him off.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
What was going on?
Why was she suddenly so intense?
